Rakhi Vijan aka Sweety of Hum Paanch is quite excited on the return of the show amid coronavirus lockdown. In an interview to an online portal, the actress said that her father was against her for choosing acting as a career. He had never watched a single episode of the show yet.
“He has not watched a single episode of the show. He was very upset with me because I decided to act at the age of 17. I belong to a very conservative Punjabi family, so he didn’t approve of me acting. He didn’t even talk to me for two years,” Rakhi said in a statement.
However, after 25 years, Rakhi has finally got a chance to watch the show with her father, which aired between 1995 and 1999. The actress said, “This is a chance to watch the show together. I can’t thank God enough for it. At least today my father can see what I did and be proud of me. Back then other people used to tell my father about how good I was on the show and how funny I was and he would just dismiss it saying, ‘What’s so funny about her and why do you people even watch the show.”
The show produced by Ekta Kapoor also starred Ashok Saraf, Vidya Balan, Bhairavi Raichura and Vandana Pathak, among others.
